invitation letter

[blouen]

Could you please help me with the format of writing an invitation letter.
Thanks a lot!

[Hi_there_Carl]

Could you give us a little more to go on? What do you want to invite people to do? Is this an invitation to a party, an invitation to place a bid or an invitation to an event? It would be a lot better if you gave it a try, write a draft, and let us have a look at it.

Actually I haven't got ideas in writing invitations. It's about inviting people to an event, say a church event. Could you give me a pattern on how to write it.
say :

Date
Name
Address

Heading
Body

Are these going to be free events or will people have to pay to come?

It's our Young People's Day in church and we are to invite some pastors and their congregation. It's free.

How about this:

If you are able to come, please confirm your acceptance to [name] at [address]. We will then be able to give you more information about what we hope to be doing.

That's quite fine.

But how/where would I add it there that we'll be having two services that day. One in the morning(time: 9-12) and the other in the afternoon(time: 2-5).

And that in the afternoon, there will be some games/activities like game A, game B, and game C...


Thanks!!!
